When the Canon Powershot SD850 IS (IXUS 950 IS in Europe) arrived for this review, I presumed it was a follow-on or variant to the SD800 IS (IXUS 850 IS). However, it’s actually the successor to the Powershot SD700 IS, since the SD700 IS has the older DIGIC II processor and they both have a 35-140mm (equivalent) focal length. The SD800 IS has a wider angle lens (28-105mm equivalent), so is a slightly different place in the market (at least according to Canon) than this SD850 IS model.

Apple slides 1.3-megapixel iSight into new MacBook Pro (Digital Photography News)

We’ll admit, Apple’s tightly integrated webcam sure gets more attention than most, but the latest blurb about the iSight has less to do with movie stars or underground storage facilities and more with sheer utility. Apparently, the latest round of MacBook Pros have been equipped with an entirely new camera, and after seeing an all new USB Product ID code, a couple of curious onlookers had to find out more. By testing an older unit and then flocking to a retail Apple store to try out a shiny new machine, it was realized that the sensor in the iSight had indeed been upgraded to 1.3-megapixels; ‘course, it certainly won’t revolutionize subway snapping, but hey, if you needed one more reason to pull the trigger on a new MacBook Pro, you’re welcome.

Pentax’s K100D is just Super (Digital Photography News)
June 28, 2007 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
Pentax has an update for their entry-level K100D DSLR which is so great, they’ve dubbed it the K100D Thuper Duper (clap clap). Ok ok, it’s just the K100D Super but it’s hard to contain our girlish enthusiasm in the face of marketing genius. Their latest features Pentax’s shake reduction system like the K100D only now with a new dust removal system and full compatibility with Pentax’s higher-end SDM lenses. Other than that and SDHC compatibility (still no CF support), we’re still looking at the same 6.1 megapixel cam (APS-C size CCD) with 2.5-inch LCD, and ISO 3200 max sensitivity — not a bad thing for first timer DSLRers based on previous reviews. The body alone will set you back $520 come August 2007.

Add a couple of AA batteries and a memory card and you ll quickly discover that kids and pets aren t the only things this camera does well.

Released in 2006, the Nikon D80 was Nikon s follow up to its successful predecessor the D70, both of which are Nikon s competitive response to Canon s entry level DSLRs the Rebel XTi and XT. The Nikon D40 and now the D40x were also recently introduced 2006 and 2007 respectively and these now constitute Nikon’s primary entry level DSLRs priced more closely to the XT and XTi. Although there are entry level DSLRs offered by Sony, Pentax and others, the Nikons and Canons were what I primarily considered when looking at buying a DSLR.
